M. Trojanov

Criminal drama based on the materials of the sensational trial of the adventurous engineer Gilevich. The second series was released at the end of 1917. The 2nd and 4th parts have not survived.

Directed by Vladimir Gardin and Yakov Protazanov, this two-part epic was the most expensive Russian film at the time and smashed box office records. It is now considered lost, with only a 4 minute clip surviving.
